and/or treatment

Bartonella B. henselae antibody G/M

IGM : < or = 1:20 should be considered negative

IGG : < or = 1:40 should be considered negative

My igm <1:20
My igg 1:80

My doc is on vac for 2 weeks and I am off treatment till 8/8 to see if meds for ocd will work. In hell with psych symptoms, heart symptoms, pains, confusion..did 6 mos of rocephin, oral zithromax, oral doxy, some iv zithro, flagyl and still this. Some levaquin (only 2 weeks), some mino (about 1 month). Wants to start me on oral amoxycillin (high doses) Which meds are ok for bart and ehrlichiosis?
Never treated because tested negative till now - its in the igg.

Can anyone help me with figuring this out?Brain global hypoperfusion in January. I never had so many in the IGM positive before.
Thanks for your help - God Bless.

Well your WB looks very positive to me. Mino, Doxy, Zithro all work on Bart and ehrlichiosis. Amox doesn't work as well as far as crossing the blood brain barrior. I don't think it hits the co-infections as well either.

The meaning for "Global Hypoperfusion"
Global: all over the brain.
Hypoperfusion: low blood flow in the brain.

Dr N Harris of igenex told me the appearence of more bands in the WB is good -your immune system is functioning better.

Bart-neg IgM and pos IgG could mean a previous infection??? Not sure.

Abx for Ehrlichia are doxy or other tetracyclines( I think )

Abx for Bart- levaquin, rifampin, cipro, possibly zithro

I didn't see any tests for Babesia-have you had any or any symptoms? I didn't see any meds for them either in your history.

Appreciate your help and hope you're all feeling better.

God Bless,

Been meaning to call you. Going away soon, but will contact you... not after 10PM!

I was exhausted, but it really felt great to share with you.

I had a lot of IND's on my test of '96 and that was a Quester-tester. All following never pulled a bandread.

Did your son test positive? and did you test through Igenex for him also? I ask because I've been considering getting a test kit for my daughter. She doesn't show symptoms, but it still makes me nervous that she could have gotten it through pregnancy (born 98).

I'm always here after 6.

How're you doing after the gb surgery? Recovering without symptoms at the site?

My test for babs was "borderline" and I herxed to Mars and back on the meds...Keep an open mind about having babesia.

I need to answer your email!!!!! Sorry! I hope you can get back on treatment ASAP!!!
